It's a tiny designer tote or purse complete with studs (mini brads). My example is red with black handles and trim. It's sized perfectly to hold 3x3 sticky notes or business cards (or anything else that is small enough to fit). My niece is the first recipient of one of my prototypes - the pink one. I packed her birthday present in it. She's been sworn to secrecy - not to show it off to anyone but her mother - yet. Here's a photo. Isn't it cute? And it's so easy to create! Big impact, little effort. Wait til you see it at my workshop on April 18th! I hope you can attend. (Please leave a comment and let me know what you think!) See you soon!

Project 365 - A Photo a Day
I heard about Project 365 and the 52 Blessings Project in mid-December and thought, "I can do that!" The goal of Project 365 is to take a photo every day and make a layout each month. It's all about the everyday tidbits of life -- things like a new purse (love it!), a plant in bloom in winter (what a treat!), birds at our feeder (sneaking up on them), a note written on my dirty Jeep window (our daughter borrowed it while hers was being repaired), craft projects I've completed (fun, fun). I'm on target photo-wise, and looking forward to printing photos to make layouts.
Project 365 could be modified to start at any time, and just do it for one month. It's a challenge - take a month, take a photo each day. Print them small and make a layout.
The 52 Blessings Project is one you could catch up on right now! Take a photo of a blessing each week. (You can make up for the past several weeks, I won't tell!) You could choose a theme for each month or two (people, work, places, fun things you do) or just take random photos of people/things that bless you.
The layouts we make will be different from the "usual" scrapbooking events - birthdays, trips, celebrations. I'll post my layouts as I complete them. If you decide to do something like this, please add a comment and let me know!
